A significant number of letters relate to efforts to ensure that soldiers in the field were able to vote. Correspondents include Joseph R. Hawley, James Dixon, and Governor William Buckingham. Other materials consist of receipts of donations and invoices for such services as the rent of a horse and carriage, printing posters or tickets, and telegraph messages.
